Recent happenings received’t have an effect on model of Indian cricket: Rashid Latif
Former Pakistan skipper Rashid Latif reckons that change of guard in Indian cricket received’t adversely have an effect on its model because the nation has sufficient depth in expertise aside from monetary would possibly to resist the churning.
The BCCI lately eliminated Virat Kohli as ODI skipper and later the star batter introduced quitting management in Tests as properly. He had already stop T20 captaincy.
The method by which all of the current developments occurred and the controversy created offered a poor image of Indian cricket. However latif stated none of it ought to adversely have an effect on Indian cricket.
“They have a strong base in the IPL and Indian cricket is now established as financially very strong so eventually I don’t think these recent changes or happenings should have any bearing on Indian cricket as a brand,” Latif stated on the ‘Cricket Baaz’ Youtube channel.
“I feel quite a bit now relies on how Rohit Sharma handles the staff however he has his personal type of main the aspect and he has already achieved quite a bit with Mumbai Indians within the IPL.
“It remains to be seen how motivated he will be to captain in Tests. Kohli brought energy and purpose to his captaincy and team.”
Latif although felt the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) erred in eradicating Kohli as captain of the One-day staff.
“I think it was a case of having handled things the wrong way and no way of going back as well. I know from personal experience having gone through it myself that in such a situation when a long-serving captain decides to step down or is removed it is never possible that he would not have had discussions with the board top officials.”
“When I stepped down as captain in 2004 it was only after I spoke with our board chairman. That is why I am saying I think the BCCI has made a mistake in the way it handled this particular issue. It is not good for Indian cricket.”
The former wicketkeeper-batsman stated it was by no means simple to vary a captain who has been round there as a frontrunner for thus a few years.
“When you have someone as a leader for five years or more and so successful as captain that obviously they are people in the team who are loyal to him and it does disturb the dressing room environment.”
Latif stated that India’s defeats in South Africa had been a results of the unsure surroundings within the Indian staff. The staff misplaced each the Test and ODI sequence.
“I am not saying anyone deliberately didn’t want to perform, every professional wants to do well but when the environment in a team changes it does affect the players in many ways.”
